How to play youtube videos in Symbian device

[prajnaranjan.das]

I am actually trying to play a youtube link using NOKIA n8 Simulator .
Will be glad if someone give me any idea

Do you care how it plays? Simplest thing to try would be to pass the URL to QDesktopServices.

You could also try the QMediaPlayer - I don't know if that supports the Flash video content on YouTube or not.

Another way could be

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtWebKit>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QWebView view;
    view.load(QUrl("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhTtsZATwBQ"));
    view.showMaximized();
    return a.exec();
}

Dunno if there are better and more efficient ways to do it..am new to this too

Won't work in Symbian devices as there is no Flash NPAPI plugin in QtWebkit. Neither it works with HTML5 as there is no <video> -tag backend.

DesktopServices launching the browser is the easiest way. The other way with more control is to play using RTSP.
There is a nice example made by Antti Luoma for the first mobility competition http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ilityYouPlayer .

Hi, unfortunately I don't have time to check this. I know the project has worked so it is probably something small that has changed in QtMobility versions. It is a good exercise to fix, you get to know Qt lot more

There is a lot of people here who want their youtube/vimeo etc videos getting played. One idea is to start a new community project to create the perfect player for webmedia. Make a start here https://projects.forum.nokia.com/home/ and get people to join in.

I tried a lot but this example is not working......Tell me any other way for this....

I note from the top of the thread that you're using the N8 Simulator, not a real N8. I don't know whether or not the Qt Mobility backend for the simulator supports YouTube videos. Can you test on a real N8?

Already tried in real NOKIA N8 mobile phone but still facing the same problem.....
